You can use a grindstone to convert your gathered enchanted objects into XP if you want to do something with them. The grindstone is a simple recipe that can be used as a job block for villagers or as a way to bind a room together in a crafting area. Grindstones are also useful for repairing tools.
When you use it, you’ll see a GUI with two input slots and one output slot.
When an enchanted item is placed in an input slot, a new non-enchanted item of the same type and durability is created in the output slot. The input item is consumed when the item is removed from the output slot, and some experience is gained.
Placing two items of the same type (enchanted or not) in the input slots creates a new non-enchanted item of that type with a durability equal to the total of the two input items’ durabilities, plus 5% of the item’s maximum durability (rounded down), up to its maximum durability. The process consumes both of the input elements. If any of the input items was enchanted, removing the output item will result in a gain of experience.
How to make a Grindstone in Minecraft
When you remove enchantments from items, you get an experience equal to the enchantment’s minimum modified enchantment level. The final amount is a uniformly distributed random number between half of the resulting sum (rounded up) and the total sum. The quantity of experience gained is determined by the number of enchantments and their levels, although it is also somewhat random. Fire Protection I, for example, provides 5-9 experiences.
The new item will have no prior work penalty, just as all non-enchanted items. A curse can’t be broken with a grindstone. The custom name of an item is likewise not removed by grindstones.
The arrow displays a red cross like that of an anvil and no item appears in the output slot if the action is not relevant (e.g. only one non-enchanted item or the two inputs are different items).
If a village has an unclaimed grindstone, every villager who has not yet chosen a job site block has the opportunity to change their profession to weaponsmith.
Grindstones are incapable of being pushed or pulled by sticky pistons.
Now that you know about Grindstone, let’s start making it.
Items required to make a Grindstone
First of all, to craft anything in Minecraft, one requires a Crafting Table.
Making crafting tables is as simple as placing a block of wood in the 2×2 crafting area and cutting it into four wooden planks. These four wooden planks are re-positioned in the crafting area, creating a crafting table.
Tables for crafting can be put on the ground. They display a 3×3 grid that may be used to make several of the game’s items.
You can also find Crafting Tables in Villages.
